I have been working at Cardinal Health full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Great opportunity with a Fortune 40 company. Great benefits and great industry...
Cons – Unless you are in "a circle" you won't progress. Also, not the best paying industry due to minimal margins.
Advice to Senior Management – Wish they would pay internal employees to match market conditions and value to company. Took an OPEX Black Belt role after earning my MBA while working at Cardinal and was not compensated for enhanced skillset even when encouraged to do so by the business.

2008 Church Autonomy Conference - "The Things That Are Not Caesar's: Religious Organizations as a Check on the Authoritarian Pretensions of the State"
Religious Liberties Practice Group
Church autonomy issues are at the forefront of contemporary debates in church/state law. Such issues arise whenever the government seeks to impose a regulatory burden on a church or any religious organization. Often the regulatory burden comes in the form of generally applicable legislation that is facially neutral with respect to religion. The regulation may also take place through developments in the common law, such as claims sounding in tort, contract, trust, or real property.
Some of the pressing topics in the area of church autonomy include ministerial exceptions to employment discrimination claims, IRS tax exempt status and political speech, unconstitutional conditions on public benefits, and bankruptcy litigation. An older and still important line of cases deals with intra-church disputes in which two factions litigate ownership of church property. Finally, there is the matter of tort claims against a church for clergy sexual abuse, a particularly difficult area that has arguably eroded the scope of church autonomy in other contexts.
To explore these issues in detail, the Federalist Society gathered some of the leading law and religion scholars in America. Among the topics addressed at the conference were the theological and historical roots of church autonomy in both the Catholic and Protestant traditions, the constitutional basis for the church autonomy doctrine in the First Amendment, and particular applications of church autonomy in torts, employment, and other areas of law.

1. The bride walked herself down the aisle and didn't wear a veil. Granted she was married before (widowed) but if it's a first time bride does she have to wear a veil? does she have to wear a veil covering her face called a blusher? Does she have to have someone walking her down the aisle? As I understand it the bride walking with her dad started as a Protestant thing. Also, as an aside I think it is wonderful the ceremony doesn't include obey, though many churches are getting rid of it(as they should).
2. Another bride (first marriage)and her groom put flowers on the Virgin Mary. I understand this is common? My mom said she did it.
3. The second bride did the garter toss at the wedding. I never gave this much though but isn't it kind of sinful because it sort of implies certain things?
There's other things I was curious about but these are the ones upfront.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."
"These invitations are exactly how we imagined they would be. I had been looking for quite some time and nothing had really jumped out at us, and that is what we wanted. We did the pearl shimmer finish and rounded corners and it really added something extra. My fiance's favorite part, and one of mine as well, was the initials on the back. Something different, which is exactly what we were going for. Can't wait to send these out!"
"We've ordered samples of several invitations from several different sites and these were by far the best. The design is beautiful and really stands out on the shimmer paper. The fonts were exactly what we were looking for for our art deco wedding. Not only were these the best invitations we received samples of but also the least expensive. We will definitely be ordering these and the matching stationary for our wedding"
"Excellent quality...Received many compliments on the design. I am extremely happy with this product and I highly recommend it! ...Also, the design on the back is well worth the few extra bucks."
"I had a great experience with the professional printing service! Even noticed a typo right before I approved my design, and I was able to upload a new image and change the typo without much delay. The pearlescent paper turned out beautifully. Guests are already sending me messages about how great the invites are! I'm so glad I chose Wedding Paper Divas to print my self-designed invites. Not to mention the turn-around time was very quick--which is perfect for a procrastinator like myself!"

Verisign provides in-depth analysis, insight and response recommendations to help keep businesses and government organisations ahead of new and evolving cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
As the Internet continues to expand, Verisign is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe and reliable for all users.
The TELNET protocol allows virtual network terminals to be connected to
over the internet. The initial description of the protocol was given in
RFC854 in May 1983. Since then there have been many extra features added
including encryption.
Remote exploitation of an buffer overflow vulnerability error in
multiple telnet clients may allow execution of arbitrary commands.
THE vulnerability specifically exists in handling of the LINEMODE
suboptions, in that there is no size check made on the output, which is
stored in a fixed length buffer. By sending a specially constructed
reply containing a large number of SLC (Set Local Character) commands,
it is possible to overflow this buffer with server supplied data.
Successful exploitation would allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code in the context of the user which initiated the telnet
process. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need
to convince the user to connect to their malicious server. It may be
possible to automatically launch the telnet command from a webpage, for
<iframe src='telnet://malicious.server/'>
On opening this page the telnet client may be launched and attempt to
connect to the host 'malicious.server'.
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of the vulnerability in the telnet
client included in the Kerberos V5 Release 1.3.6 package and the client
included in the SUNWtnetc package of Solaris 5.9. It is suspected that
most BSD based telnet clients are affected by this vulnerability.

Yacolt Burn Is Outstanding
Located just east of Vancouver, Washington, in the southwestern corner of the Yacolt Burn State Forest, Yacolt Burn was recently honored by BFGoodrich Tires as one of the 2010 Outstanding Trails. Off-road enthusiasts and members of the Piston's Wild Motorsports club took part in the weekend event as BFGoodrich Tires presented a grant of $4,000 to the club. The grant will be used to help the Piston's Wild Motorsports club and others design the trail system and offset some of the costs of getting the area open to off-highway users. The Piston's Wild Motorsports club is a not-for-profit organization that works to create a legal, safe and unique off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail system in the Yacolt Burn State Forest area for the riding public to experience and enjoy. BFGoodrich Tires, working in conjunction with Tread Lightly! and United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), chose the Yacolt Burn trail system because of its scenic beauty and potential it presents to off-road enthusiasts. Piston's Wild Motorsports is working closely with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other motorized user groups to design this diverse and challenging trail system for all off-road enthusiasts. Construction for the trail is in full force and opening date for public access to the trails is yet to be announced (mid-summer to late 2011 is hoped). Upon completion, the Yacolt Burn off-road recreation area will offer 30-plus miles of four-wheel trails, and 40-plus miles of trails for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). In addition to the existing Jones Creek Trailhead, the plan also makes room for a large campground and trailhead in the heart of the forest. Elevations in the planning area range from 600 feet to 3,500 feet and major streams within the south part of the planning area flow south to the Washougal River, leading to the stunning Columbia River Gorge. Plans to create trails and features that will range from mild to wild are set, with the intention of creating an OHV recreation area. Celebrating its five-year anniversary, the BFGoodrich Tires Outstanding Trails program is dedicated to the responsible use, and preservation of, off-road trails while providing aid in the trails' conservation efforts. Since its inception, the Outstanding Trails program has recognized 19 off-road trails in 16 states and two in Canada. The program has also given more than $70,000 in grants to clubs and seen more than 2,500 participants at trail events. Visit BFGoodrich Tires at www.bfgoodrichtires.com.

The Gay Gestapo has made a big-time move in California. If you're a judge in that state and you happen to be a fan of sexual normalcy and want impressionable young teens to be protected from sexual predators, your professional career in the law could be over.
It is just laughable (or, really, lamentable) for Multnomah to describe one of its authors as "a bold, young, evangelical writer" when his book attempts to make a biblical case for same-sex relationships. Talk about turning truth upside down.
Multnomah is a long-trusted name in the world of Christian publishing. But in printing counter-biblical books under a sister imprint, it's playing a shell game purposefully calculated to obfuscate and hide the ball from the Christian community.
The 16th Amendment was sold to the American public as a way to make the rich pay their "fair share." That law, which was billed as a "soak the rich" scheme, instead now threatens to drown us.
Like a creek gushing in springtime, the trickle of Internal Revenue Service corruption is becoming a steady current.
Let me obliterate a bit of confusion here: the Obama administration attempted to go to war with a rancher in Nevada. Let me amplify a little bit of truth: they tucked tail and have returned home. And let me add a bit of clarity: they had no choice!
For reasons perhaps only psychiatrists understand, Democratic presidents seek, at last, finally and forever, to "solve" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I have created a new species designation for the female Democrats who play hypocritical gender politics on behalf of Barack Obama. They're genderhawks.
It's one thing to have the idea that a cow is now a horse. It's another to use the power of the law to impose this delusion on everybody else. Same-sex "marriage" is a direct attack on freedom of conscience for millions of people.
For years I've been sounding the alarm about an impending social, cultural, and spiritual crisis, and for years critics have compared me to Chicken Little, discounting my warnings as the ravings of a hysterical, religious fundamentalist. Well, it's a little late for that now.
The war that has been brewing between the sexual activists of America and everyday people of faith, morals, and conscience has moved into the major campaign of the conflict. Last week was bloody.
The man who is the face and voice of the Southern Baptist Convention on public policy believes fighting to protect natural marriage is "a politically ridiculous thing to do right now." Such pessimism is unbecoming for a man whose role is to be a leader in the task of returning our nation to its moral center.
Question: Who are the most prominent public purveyors of Asian stereotypes and ethnic language-mocking in America? The right answer is liberal Hollywood and Democrats.
The Left argues there are so few prosecuted cases of vote fraud out of millions of ballots cast that it makes no difference. What they don't understand, however, is that every fraudulent vote steals a legitimately cast ballot, striking at the heart of self-government.
Black politicians like Congresswoman Barbara Lee overwhelmingly are liberals – and they remain liberals, despite a long and consistent track record of failure. But when real reformers like Paul Ryan come along, they get branded with the liberals' code word: racist.
America's latest heroine is Robin Bartlett Frazier. She staged her own tea party event last Thursday by tossing an out-of-control federal judge overboard like a trunk of tea by taking a stand for religious liberty. May her tribe increase.

Preventing Wheel-Off Accidents
Five keys to for reducing the chances of these events
If there is one type of tire/wheel accident that every fleet fears the most, it has to be one that involves a loose wheel - or two. And when we say loose, we mean separated from the vehicle so it resembles a 200-pound unguided missile.
Since 1997, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) has trained and certified almost 50,000 technicians on the procedures they can follow to prevent wheel-off accidents. TIA has also partnered with companies like Alcoa and Michelin to produce educational videos that tire and transportation companies can use to reinforce the importance of following industry guidelines for installing all types of wheels and rims. Yet, despite all of these efforts, wheel-off accidents continue to occur, and people continue to suffer serious and fatal injuries as a result.
Recognizing how the impact of a loose truck tire and wheel assembly can destroy a car is the key to understanding how these accidents can be prevented. TIA released a free video called Wheel End Safety (available at www.tireindustry.org) so the industry can see firsthand what happens when a tire travelling at 55 mph strikes a stationary vehicle. The damage is compelling, and when you consider how it would be exponentially worse when a loose truck tire and wheel assembly strikes a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, the consequences become very real.
So, TIA developed a list of five facts that every fleet must understand in order to prevent wheel-off accidents. A thorough understanding of these facts won't eliminate the chances simply because anything mechanical can fail even after the most thorough inspection and perfect installation. But TIA is positive that they are the keys to developing an effective wheel torque program that reduces the chances of a wheel-off and improves the performance.
1. Make sure that every technician who removes or installs wheels and rims from the vehicle is properly trained. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation 29 CFR 1910.177 requires training for all employees that service truck tires and wheels. Since the OSHA definition of "service" includes removing and installing, even the mechanics that do not perform "tire work" must be trained if they handle the assemblies in any way.
If the technicians in the tire department are trained to follow the proper procedures, yet the mechanics do not follow those same procedures after brake, wheel end or suspension service, fleets should expect loose wheels.
2. Torque is not a magic potion. Pulpit-bangers that scream "torque, torque, torque" are usually the ones that are most interested in the collection plate. They want to scare fleets into buying the latest torque machine, and once they get the sale, they're never heard from again.
Yes, it is true that proper torque is extremely important. But it's equally true that there are a number of additional factors that will either prevent or contribute to loose wheels. Any supplier that tries to tell a fleet differently should be avoided like preachers that live in mansions and drive luxury cars while their flock struggles to make rent.
3. Impact wrenches are not torque control devices. The keys to all torque control devices are accuracy and repeatability.
Torque limiting adaptors (torque sticks) are considered by some to be precision instruments that can harness the raw power of impact wrenches so they deliver the proper amount of force every time. In order for the adaptor to work, the wrench should have 90 psi of running pressure, and the technician must know when to stop hammering so the repeatability is at best questionable while the accuracy is marginal.
Fleets love the feeling that they're doing something to prevent loose wheels and keeping the technicians happy. Until they lose a wheel and find out that TIA and the wheel companies do not recommend them for installing wheels or rims.

text: A hybrid that half works: a world-famous New York-based string quartet rehearses Beethoven's Quartet No. 14—the sublime Opus 131, the seven movements of which are played without pause. At the same time, the group, reaching its twenty-fifth anniversary, is breaking apart. Adultery, unfulfilled ambition, envy, mother-daughter tensions, disease—all the standard and predictable conflicts are there, as in a soap opera. The scenes of the musicians rehearsing or talking about music, with the actors playing parts of Opus 131 themselves (the longer stretches are played by the Brentano Quartet), are fascinating and moving for anyone who loves this music; the rest of the movie is conventional. With Christopher Walken, in unusually gentle form, as an aging cellist in the early stages of Parkinson's disease; Mark Ivanir, as the fanatical first violinist; Philip Seymour Hoffman, as the second violinist, married to the quartet's violist, played by Catherine Keener; and Imogen Poots, as Hoffman and Keener's tempestuous and talented daughter. Written by Seth Grossman and Yaron Zilberman; directed by Zilberman.

And with good reason: Helmed by chef Jonathan Beatty (The Purple Pig), it's part delicioso ristorante, part wineshop. Swing by for a snack and sip or pick up a bottle to go.We asked Beatty to match a few of Davanti's pours with his dishes. We're hungry just reading about them.Antipasti: Wash down inventive starter celery, white anchovies, pecorino sardo, and Leccini olives with a glass of 2008 Sella & Mosca la Cala vermentino, an acidic, medium-bodied white that balances the bold flavors on your plate.Boards: The 2008 La Braccesca Rosso di Montepulciano Sabazio is from a region in Tuscany renowned for its tasty meat (think wild boar). Beatty's deeply rich, pork cheek-flecked mascarpone polenta cleans up nicely with the wine's acidity.Paste: After cutting into the uovo in raviolo San Domenico (a giant ravioli stuffed with ricotta, egg, and spinach), tip back a glass of 2009 Au Bon Climat chardonnay to mirror the richness.Pizze: A light, simple pizza con prosciutto e rucola (prosciutto di Parma, fontina, arugula, fresh mozzarella) deserves a wine of equal simplicity and weight — tannin-free 2007 Vignamaggio Il Morino sangiovese.Piatti: According to Davanti's staff, one of the best pairings in the house goes to the spada Davanti (swordfish, Brussels sprouts, pancetta, Calabrian chili) and 2009 Terredora di Paolo Falanghina. The wine is nutty with some minerality, but its fruitiness is what makes the Brussels sprouts and pancetta really pop.Davanti Enoteca, 1359 West Taylor Street, at Loomis Street (312-226-5550 or davantichicago.com).Photo: Courtesy of Davanti EnotecaImpress your friends with your sommelier skills.

HiFiMan's advanced headphone tech at CES 2014 improves sound quality
HiFiMan is premiering two new models of audiophile headphones at CES 2014. At first glance the new models resemble HiFiMan's HE-400 and HE-500 full-size planar magnetic headphones, but closer inspection reveals an entirely new headband design, and these two models are considerably lighter and more comfortable than the headphones they replace.Catch CNET's complete coverage of CES 2014
I was treated to an advance preview in NYC and auditioned the headphones at home. The sound is more open and clearer than ever before. Some experienced audiophiles may think these two new HiFiMans' sound is close to what you … Read more

The music, loud techno funk, is good for dancing, and the space, while spread out, is conducive for chatting. Oh, and Hunters Hunks (aka male dancers) take the stage at 10 p.m. on Thursdays for even more fun. All in all, Hunters mixes a little suburbia into Saturday night and comes out with a pretty fun dance spot.

Beer and Craft Beer's Status In The Eyes of Major Media
Thousands of inquiries come into the BA offices each year asking about craft beer and how it fairs in the overall beer category. Here's a snapshot of statements and headlines in the media's own words describing the status of craft beer in the US today.
"Like wine, beers can be paired with food. And American beers may go just as well, if not better, with corned beef and cabbage than brews from the land of Blarney. Apart from St. Patrick's Day, people are opening up to the possibilities of beer and food pairings and finding it's not just a wine thing."
- WTOP-Radio Washington, DC March 2012
"Craft beer has become a big business in the U.S. Though beer sales overall have been sluggish in recent years, sales for craft beers are up 15 percent during the first half of last year. And more breweries and brew pubs are popping up all over. In the last 30 years, the number of breweries in the U.S. skyrocketed from fewer than 100 to nearly 2,000."
- CBS News, February 2012
"The increase (of craft breweries) represents a shift in consumer tastes toward local, artisan products, analysts say."
- Washington Post, April 2012
"Any way you look at it, the growth of the craft beer industry continues unabated. While the craft beer segment is still a small portion of the overall beer market, it has shown steady growth the past few years. The steady growth is leading more entrepreneurs to take the craft beer plunge."
- CNBC, March 2012
"Light beer is ceding ground as cabernet-loving baby boomers and millennials weaned on exotic cocktails seek more complex flavors in their brews."
- Bloomberg News, March 2012
"As more Americans crave artisanal alternatives to Miller and Budweiser, the craft brewing industry — made up of independent brewers specializing in smaller batches of uniquely flavored beer — has exploded around the country over the past few years."
- New York Times, March 2012

Volunteers seek high impact
Today's volunteers want to use their professional skills in shorter-term, high-impact projects, she said. "More and more people are interested in having opportunities to make a measurable difference and be collaborators and colleagues."
And she said New Hampshire "is leading the way" in responding to that change.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and NH Center for Nonprofits tapped Steinhorn, a senior strategist with JFFixler Group in Colorado, for a joint initiative called High Impact Volunteer Engagement (HIVE). Over the next year, Steinhorn will work with 10 New Hampshire nonprofit organizations to boost volunteer engagement.
Groups have until Feb. 28 to apply for the HIVE project.
Representatives from more than 80 nonprofits attended a workshop Steinhorn held here last month to talk about these demographic shifts.
Previous generations of volunteers, she said, "were greatly motivated by a desire to join organizations and to stay out of loyalty."
"Today, baby boomers and the generations that followed have many more people who volunteer for multiple organizations," she said.
And while the volunteerism rate is rising, the number of hours each individual contributes has been declining, she noted. "People really are looking for shorter, higher-impact activities rather than joining a committee, which to many younger volunteers is like a life sentence."
As a result, she said, organizations need to create new opportunities "that allow volunteers to really use their skills in project management and leadership and innovation."
